DKM Modular KVM Extender Transmitter Expansion Card - Balanced Audio

The DKM extender setup provides the widest range of possible combinations, which makes it easy to customize for your specific application.

The DKM Modular KVM Extenders are comprised of modular housing chassis with 2, 4, 6, or 21 slots, Basic Link Modules, and Upgrade Module for your peripheral needs. Special converter modules provide a video conversion for analog video input formats and DVI output or an 8-port DKM FXC switching module build into the DKM Extender housing to save even more space.

Upgrade Modules
The Upgrade Modules carry their signals over the cable connections from the basic link modules. No extra link cable is required to save on infrastructure needs. The Upgrade modules offer a large variety of peripheral interfaces like USB HID, PS/2, embedded USB 2.0 at 36 Mbps, serial RS-232 or RS-422, bidirectional analog audio, and uni-, or- bidirectional digital audio. Mix and match the options according to your application needs. Common used peripheral requirements have been even combined on one module to get the most out of your extender in the smallest space.

DKM Modular Extenders Overview
DKM Modular Housings are available with desktop chassis for two, four, or six modules or use a 19" rack mount chassis for 21 modules. For mission-critical applications, all housings are available with redundant power. DC-power for industrial usage can be supplied, too. Choose one housing with transmitter modules for your computer end and one housing with the corresponding receiver modules at your user station. The desktop housings can be mounted with optional kits on DIN-rails, walls, under the table as well as in 19" racks. No matter which chassis you select, all ports are arranged on the front side of the chassis to ensure comfortable access while installing and maintaining them.

Basic Link Modules offer the cable connection to the remote end. Each housing must be equipped with at least one of these modules. Choose from CATx, fiber at 1 Gbps, or high-speed fiber at 2.5 Gbps depending on your distance and bandwidth requirements. They are available with Single Link DVI-D, DVI-I with VGA input and DVI-D output, or HDMI video plus USB HID.

The Upgrade Modules carry their signals over the cable connections from the basic link modules. They provide a large variety of peripheral interfaces in any combination.

The DKM Converter Modules allow the integration of analog video inputs like component and composite video as well as industrial video formats like EGA, CGA, MDA. In addition, there are options for SDI, HD-SDI or 3G-SDI available. The modules convert these signals into digital DVI-D signals being transmitted over the distance with any losses.

The new DKM FXC Switching Module provides real space savings. This module offers the full feature set of the DKMFXC CATx 8-Port Matrix Switch (ACXC08) but in a very compact design occupying only 2 Slots in your DKM extender chassis.
